Tunable Magnetic Trap: Using Passive Elements to Control Magnetic Microrobots

RA-L 2024

Magnetic microrobots have the ability to navigate through difficult-to-reach environments, thereby holding promise for applications in the fields of micromanipulation and biomedicine. The actuation of these microrobots requires the generation and control of magnetic fields and gradients. However, th

Solving the Non-Linear Motion in a Micromanipulation System Powered by Thermocapillary Flows

RA-L 2023

Non-contact micromanipulation tools have emerged as a promising solution for manipulating small components. However, they are mainly based on non-linear actuation principles requiring ad-hoc control strategies. This letter proposes non-linear control laws to actuate a non-contact manipulation system

Control and Transport of Passive Particles Using Self-Organized Spinning Micro-Disks

RA-L 2022

Traditional robotic systems have proven to be instrumental in object manipulation tasks for automated manufacturing processes. Object manipulation in such cases typically involves transport, pick-and-place and assembly of objects using automated conveyors and robotic arms. However, the forces at mic
